On this day, anonymous has managed to hack into the website of one once under the US Government's control: http://www.ussc.gov/. The hack seems to be in retaliation to Aaron Swartz death and reflects the anti-US views that the online community are slowing gaining through the abuse of power over trivial and small issues that have better been forgotten. It also appears to be linking to files relating to US built warheads.

Webcounter.com sucks

Ever used www.webcounter.com?
They're the weakest website counter site ever, every single page view is counted as a "hit". With a script to automate the process, you can put that number to the millions..
There is ip detection with webcounters on that site, no anything.. The developers were far too lazy to implement that... Actually, I've got a better webcounter that practically does the same thing: This site has  gotten: pageviews

Happy Street is flawed

Posted: Tuesday, 22 January 2013

Update as of October 2013: no longer works!

Flaw was open for 10+ months

I'd like to congratulate the developers for spreading the word on the furry community, great job :)

However there's one critical flaw to the game, it uses Appspot and a completely unencrypted gifting/cloud saving system..

Sure there are some horrifically low level protection included (such as "encoding" the data in hex form) but, of course, that was no match for me...

There's really no encryption or any protection that can be found on the way Happy Street handles it's online services, the Happy Street system is wide open....

This is basically what I consider to be the flaw of Happy Street, it's unencrypted... And for a game that attracts millions of players from multiple platforms, you would expect the developers to be a little more careful when it comes to scenarios like this.. However, they're not..

Think that you can't ever send lucky tokens in Happy Street? Well think again..

Great job mega.co.nz

Well done Kim DotCom, and the rest of the MEGA team, give yourselves a clap on the back - Or you've probably already did.. What you've done will revolutionize content on the internet forever. Personally, I'm surprised, not at the interface and the design of the site [nice api's btw - very unixy] but by the fact that the New Zealand government allowed Mega to go ahead with their plans. That's a very good and clear indication to the American government that countries are slowly trying to rebel against them and to invalidate all attempts for the American government to seize control over offshore content.
Aaron Swartz's death will not be in vain, since users from all over the world can share content with the knowledge that they won't be looked at, ever.. And so government agencies have no proof of data being shared online, and thus no legal consequences can be held to both the participants and MEGA..
However, personally,

Temple Run 2 Hack

Posted: Friday, 18 January 2013

To easy? Amirite? No, but really, if you need a lv8 [45x] progress save then comment on this post or something... Or you can waste your time and build upon the save file contained in the links.
The save is hashed and unlike temple run 1, there is no resume feature or auto submission to Game Center - The only way to gain scores without jailbreaking is to do so legitimately
Personally, I think that the developers have done a great job in adding an extra twist into the game by spicing it up, and would like to congratulate them for raising awareness to the iOS developer community on the fact that cheat prevention is pretty simple...

Edit:
The mediafire link is down.. Here's my save file:

Why I now hate stackoverflow's gamification system


If you were to look at my Stackoverflow account, you'll see me sitting on some modest amount of reputation points.. 
profile for extramaster at Stack Overflow, Q&A for professional and enthusiast programmers
It took me 2 months to gain that amount of points - with pure effort, and I feel horrible right now about it. Those numbers don't attribute to anything and I've wasted my life pursing that project and those points...
